Miniature Daffodil 'Angel's Whisper'

Three to five gorgeous flowers open on a stem with windswept, pastel lemon petals and an open bell shaped cup. It has a soft perfume but you need to be up close, and why wouldn’t you want to be close to something so beautiful. Australian bred, it has won plenty of international awards.

‘Angel’s Whisper’ is in the Triandrus group of daffodils which are sometimes referred to as ‘Angel’s Tears’. They produce multiple flowers on a stem, have swept back or flared petals and bell shaped coronas.

These petite blooms are small in size but big on impact. They are perfect for small gardens, pots, lawn plantings or the front of beds.

Miniature Daffodils are tough, hardy and simple to grow. These superb daffodils always attract attention and each bulb produces more than one flower. So why not plant as many as space permits!

Plant Miniature Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. This depth will help to protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem. Space your Daffodils 10-20cm apart, more if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise, closer for a more dramatic display. In the garden, we like to plant ours three to a hole to create instant effects.

Once the flowering has finished you can remove the flower stem (this stops the plant focusing on seed production, so it will increase the vigour of your bulb). Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed, this is the time when the Daffodil foliage is gathering energy and nutrients for next year’s blooms. Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release fertiliser brands which are low in nitrogen (this means more flowers and less foliage), and you won’t need much as they are not heavy feeders.

Daffodil ‘Angel’s Whisper’ is Division 5, Triandrus.
